May 25 Cruise In - Mount Juliet, TNThe Rumpsvillians went out to a local run in Mount Juliet, TN. There were at least 100 cars if not more at this informal cruise. I have posted a few phone camera shots. Next weekend we will return with a good camera so watch the photo album for updates. sent via mobile device April 22 The Complete Story, Almost.Sports Illustrated has a beta (new or test) site, which is called SI Vault. I found the complete article "The Car Cult From Rumpsville." I have never been able to get permission to republish this article in its entirety so I am happy to share this link with all our Rumpsville visitors.

February 29 Roth's OrbitronIt's kind of old news that Roth's Orbitron was found in Mexico but I received the address for the official website which has a little history including the events leading up to its discovery. Visit and bookmark so you can see the efforts to bring this creation back from grave. Hat tip to Moldy Marv for the site and the address. February 28 R.I.P. Boyd CoddingtonI think of Boyd Coddington as the person who introduced billet aluminum wheels to the custom car hobby and then to the mass auto aftermarket. He is known by most for his Discovery Channel TV show American Hot Rod. The sometimes controversial Boyd Coddington will be missed and without a doubt be remembered as an exceptional builder and craftsman. Wikipedia entry about Boyd Coddington
